How to Distress Your Denim | Carlos Costa

Breaking in a new pair of jeans can be a pain. But Carlos is going to show you how to distress your denim in a quick and easy fashion.

Put on your jeans and make a few pencil marks where you want to distress them. Now take them off and grab your tools: a knife, a plastic cutting board, and some sandpaper. Slip the cutting board down the leg and under your pencil mark. Use your knife to make a few cuts through the jean. Then use the edge of the knife to make a scraping motion over the cuts to start the distressing process. Take your sandpaper and run it over the cut area to ramp up the distressing of the denim.
